Scuba King

I had all my equipment checked.
Everything was laid out on deck.
We were suited for game.
By the time drop off came 
my nerves were totally a wreck.

I went down to the deep blue sea
to see what the sea would show me.
Got the scare of my life,
a fish big as my wife,
and the show in the sea was me.

Back on board I dared any to say
what went on in the sea that day.
Yes, my wife will attest.
She cleaned it her best,
but that suit, the smell won't go way.

May 25 2011 for Carolyn's contest

Incredibly well written, Charles, and I laughed when you compared the Goliath to your wife. Hmm...wonder what Carolyn's thinking about that? If not for the lack of the apostrophe in "won't," this would have been among the first-place winners. Congratulations on your big win! Love, Carolyn
